As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

Rather than saying that she is Caroline, who is from the same school as Sahira and Selphini.

It would be better to say that she is just a puppet controlled by power.

What's the point of obtaining the Elf Forest that is infected by such power?

Caroline can no longer think normally as she once did.

The thoughts in her mind were almost squeezed out, leaving only...devourment and destruction!

Chiba Kyohei on the side did not answer anything, but his actions were enough to explain everything.

In the blink of an eye, Chiba Kyohei disappeared from everyone's sight.

It's not some kind of space magic, and no magical fluctuations can be felt.

It seems that the speed of the body alone has far exceeded the limit that the naked eye can capture.

At this speed, even Agnes felt a sense of crisis for the first time.

If I really confront such a being head on, even I am afraid I will...

Should we say that it is worthy of being the one who exterminated the entire dragon clan in the legend?

Its true strength may no longer be measured by common sense, or even by the limits of its species.

This might really be the strength that has truly touched the threshold of the god level!

But since Agnes showed up openly, even under the instruction of Morning Star, she was naturally fully prepared.

She also trusted Morning Star and would never use herself as bait or sacrifice.

Of course, if the other party really has this idea, Agnes will still go ahead without hesitation.

But this time...

Agnes looked at the ring on her hand. She could clearly feel Chiba Kyohei's presence appearing behind her at some point, but she still slowly closed her eyes.

Your Highness, she will never lose to that so-called hero!

Your Highness is the king who will bring about a complete change in this world and stand at the top of the pyramid!

Just as Chiba Kyohei's hand was about to touch Agnes and the magic power was about to burst out, the ring on Agnes' hand finally emitted a faint light.

A dark and strange substance continued to twist and expand until it completely formed a human body.

And this body is naturally, Grullit Morningstar!

To be precise, it is the clone of Morning Star!

Agnes had her doubts about Morning Star's plan, although she completely trusted the man she loved and who also loved her.

But the most important question is...

"Your Highness, are you so sure that he would take the initiative to enter the ancient elven tree that is obviously a trap?"

"I'm not sure, so I have to keep a backup plan. If he really comes in on his own initiative, no matter what method he uses, things will naturally be much simpler. But if he doesn't dare to confront me head-on...wouldn't it be better for you to help him?"

......

The moment Morning Star's clone appeared, a hint of solemnity flashed across Chiba Kyohei's eyes.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the morning star.

Even if Chenxing himself has really grown to the level of a god, since Chiba Kyohei has decided to come, he naturally has the absolute confidence that he can retreat unscathed.

The real reason why he showed this expression...

Behind the Morning Star clone, several phantoms of gears continued to appear. It seemed like a huge clock, a special clock with gears to control the speed and direction of the pointer.

That feeling, the feeling of being completely and firmly controlled, including Chiba Kyohei himself, represents the power of order.

It's not just the application of rules, it's even... changing the rules that run the world!

"True Words! World!!"

The moment all the clock hands coincided at twelve o'clock, all the gears stopped and an invisible force spread instantly.

Also coming to a halt was... the entire world!

Everything in the world, even the dazzling sun, was suspended in mid-air.

Even the slightest breeze can no longer be felt.

Chiba Kyohei's hand, which was trying to destroy this power, finally froze in front of the clock hand.

Even gods will not be immune!

Except for Agnes, the only one not covered by the rules.

Even Agnes herself didn't know what kind of power this was.

But it comes from His Majesty the Morning Star, and that is enough!

"Your Highness has ordered that since you don't want to see him, let me help you see him!"

Agnes didn't hesitate at all and crushed the special magic item that Morning Star gave her.

Time didn't stop for long, just one second.

But one second was enough for Chiba Kyohei to completely lose his last chance of resistance.

As the Morning Star clone dissipated, the gears started turning again, and everything around returned to normal.

Just like when he first arrived, it was as if nothing had happened, only Chiba Kyohei disappeared on the spot.

As for where he went, it was naturally... the place he least wanted to go, the inside of the ancient elven tree!

Chapter 117 "Game of Chess"

"I really was tricked."

Chiba Kyohei noticed the sudden change in the surrounding scenery and naturally understood what was happening.

He had thought about the possibility that the other party might have some tricky cards up their sleeves. After all, as a being from another world, he knew very well what the other party's thoughts were like.

But he had never thought that the other party would actually touch the level of rules.

Even if it is just a threshold, the increase in strength is enough to be a qualitative leap!

In the thousands of years of history of this world, there are many beings that are extremely close to gods. They also have extraordinary powers and vision far beyond ordinary people.

But even so, they are still human beings, still flesh and blood, and will die if they are killed.

But once you come into contact with the power at the rule level, the gap can no longer be bridged simply by numbers, wisdom or other means.

What's more, the rules that Chenxing is exposed to are still...

The most "basic" and basic thing is time!

That can be said to be one of the most basic rules in the world and one of the most unsolvable forces!

"It's the same for you. I have always upheld the principle of not offending others unless they offend me. Since someone has taken the initiative to provoke me, I have to return the favor, right?"

Morningstar's voice came slowly, and Chiba Kyohei turned around and looked at Grullite Morningstar who was looking at him with a smile.

Chiba Kyohei had imagined the scene of meeting the other party for the first time, but it was definitely not like this.

Even though the smile on Chen Xing's face didn't seem to have any malice, Chiba Kyohei, who was also a time traveler, could feel the obvious murderous intent.

There is no doubt that both sides have always had the idea of ​​completely uprooting the other side in their hearts.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Both of them are very clear about what the other's existence means to them.

The time travelers should unite or something... From the very beginning of the time travel, this was impossible to achieve.

What's more, both parties are naturally on opposite sides of each other, both in terms of interests and purposes.

The term "enemy" is probably not enough to describe how both sides view each other.

"Why bother? If we fight now, it will only benefit the other party, right?"

Chiba Kyohei certainly understands the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand.

But his behavior at this moment was somewhat opposite.

Perhaps it was to lower Chenxing's vigilance, or perhaps he had other purposes, Chiba Kyohei did not seem to want to fight Chenxing so directly.

In his opinion, this would do him absolutely no good but only harm.

Not to mention whether taking direct action would lead to more people knowing the truth that he is still alive.

Although Morning Star can indeed be said to be his "mortal enemy", without Morning Star, his own plans will be difficult to implement.

After all, apart from the "mortal enemy" in front of him, it seems that no one else can openly attract the attention of all forces.

As for whether Chenxing would simply release the information that he is still alive.

Let’s not talk about whether anyone would believe this.

Chiba Kyohei was very sure that Chenxing was as smart as himself, otherwise he would not have forced himself here through such simple "designs".

If his information, the information that the Templar Judge is still alive, were to be leaked, the impact would be completely unknown.

It is possible that a group of "enemies" including the Holy Empire will come to chase and besiege him, but it is also possible that they will strengthen his power in disguise!

It's a half-and-half situation, half "heaven" and half "hell". Any smart person would not gamble with the existing stable situation.

Chenxing has never behaved like a "reckless" person.

Otherwise, this wouldn't be a meeting between them.

"Really? It seems like the Holy Empire doesn't have time to reach out to me right now, right?"

"You and I both understand that the real enemy has never been the Holy Empire!"

Chiba Kyohei was not at all flustered.

He has experienced every big scene and every desperate situation.

And now it seems that he is at a disadvantage, but the truth is not just as simple as advantage or disadvantage.

Simply put, Chenxing would use this method to create a situation where they had a private meeting, and what he wanted to get from this opportunity was naturally not just "revenge" on him.

And this is indeed the case.

If Chenxing really just wanted to take revenge on Chiba Kyohei, there would be no need to go around in circles like this. He could have chosen to take action the moment he led the other party to the Elf Forest.

Given the current situation in the Elf Forest, we are not qualified to stop it.

As for killing Chiba Kyohei.

If the other party can fake his death once, why can’t he fake his death a second time?

The opponent came so directly, and the Holy Trial had survived the age of dragons, the calculations of the Holy Empire, and thousands of years. How could it be that it didn't have a trump card?

Of course, revenge is necessary, and Chenxing has never been the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for the sake of "the overall situation."

Quite the opposite.

Even if Chenxing has not yet committed a heinous crime, he is definitely willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.

After all, for him, except for a few certain people, this whole world has no sense of belonging or so-called "sense of responsibility" for him.

The prophesied saving of the world, saving the world from disaster, being a hero, etc., all these were meaningless to Morning Star.

What Chenxing wants most is to possess and keep the one he cares about in this world forever.

Beyond that, everything is just a burden.

Look at Chiba Kyohei, Beatrice's mother, and even those people in the history of this world who have disappeared one after another in the long river of history.

Countless facts have proved that blindly sacrificing oneself for others will not bring any good results.

Moreover, since we have already considered conquest and possession, why bother thinking about the issue of sacrifice?

"That's true, but...are you so sure that you know who your enemy is?"

Chenxing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why must I come to this independent space, and why must I meet Chiba Kyohei in person?

If the situation with Isolde had not occurred, Morningstar might not have made such a decision.

But the moment he came into contact with Isolde, Morningstar understood.
